Subject: How safe?
Subject: How safe?
Gaga safety film. Plenty of safety films here, but this is one of the more over-the-top ones for sure.
A curious 'frontier-times' surprise party (after ... all, look what they're wearing!) is badly interrupted when the person who is supposed to show up, well, doesnt. Pretty soon friends are grieving (check out that ceramic dog collection on the mantle!!) and that spurs the kids to act! Soon, they're planning to put a safety council at school, barging in newspaper publishers (which of course, means they'll get 'Extra' editions, all about school safety, lame-ass parades with one band and a truck with safety council members, and the mayor having a talk.
The film then takes a left turn here, forgetting all about the kids and turns into of all things, 'Days Of Our Years' where we see cases where safety wasn't followed, and now they're crippled! useless I tell you! The blind workman is now useless! Unwanted! The society dame in the wheelchair can do nothing but rant about not being able to do anything! (GREAT scenery chewing scene here btw). Soon, the workpeople and the society people make safety committees (and of course not inviting the useless people to be a part of them). The film ends with the blind man and wheelchair woman ranting on us some more, than a shadow on an empty wheelchair. Great! This would have all been worth a five star, but this is somewhat terribly disjointed and unncessarily long. But still comes High;y reccomended!
